Apple TV’s tvOS 26 gets ‘Liquid Glass’ treatment and profile-switching feature

During the WWDC 2025 event, Apple announced the latest upgrade to its Apple TV operating system, tvOS 26. This update introduces a visually stunning 'Liquid Glass' design, promising a sophisticated yet subtle look that enhances user interaction. A key feature of this update is the streamlined profile-switching capability. Users can now effortlessly access their individual profiles every time the device wakes from sleep. This functionality allows family members to quickly select their profiles, enabling them to dive right back into their preferred shows and movies without delay. Furthermore, the updated Apple TV app showcases improved poster art on the main screen, maximizing the display of available content. The revamped Control Center also benefits from the Liquid Glass aesthetic, ensuring that the viewing experience remains undistracted and focused on the video content. Additionally, tvOS 26 introduces a new API designed for developers, which connects app logins to users' Apple Accounts. This enhancement simplifies the sign-in process, making it easier for users to configure new devices and enjoy a seamless setup experience.
